Established in 2012 our Canadian based online magazine is dedicated to overland travel, exploration and what that means to Canadians. Overland travel is simply exploring out of the way places by self-sufficient vehicle travel. It’s not that complicated, and part of the allure is the creation of your own vehicles and gear. You can overland and back-country travel in anything from a motorcycle to a delivery truck. If you are not already familiar with this concept, please have a look at some of the links we provided at the bottom of this page.
Our family has been overlanding for longer than anyone has called it that. As small children, our parents would take us on yearly overland trips from Ontario Canada down thru the East Coast and to the Florida Everglades and Florida Keys for 2 to 3 months at a time. We were completely self-sufficient and were home schooled throughout that time. This influential time in our lives has cemented our love of back-country travel and exploration. My father is currently 82 and still spends almost 300 days a year actively overland exploring the deserts across the USA! I hope I have that same drive when I get to that age.
We have made this website to showcase Canadian overland travel, people, vehicles, equipment and honest gear reviews. This site will hopefully inspire others to begin their own adventures. Overland travel is not for the elite, quite the contrary actually. It is an ideal way to travel and the see rare and unique places while keeping the traditional costs of travelling at bay. I have tried wherever possible to pass on advice and links that may help others with their builds and travels. Our experience has helped us to create and engineer some handy and remarkable custom equipment. In time, we hope to have our SHOP open and begin selling specialised overland gear and equipment to others. This, however, in not my day job and as such will take a bit of time.
Thank you for looking at our site, we hope you enjoy it and learn a little from our experiences. As always our media is free to all without subscriptions. If you would however like to help us, please consider a micro donation thru Patreon. You can click the "Support us on Patreon" tab trough out this site.
